Additionally, the UML Diagram Interchange proposal considered such layering with the outcome being 'not included but desired in further development' 17.…”

In this paper we present the Eclipse project GEF3D. It is a framework for three-dimensional (3D) editors and editors, based on the widely used two-dimensional (2D) graphical editing framework Eclipse Graphical Editing Framework (GEF). It enhances this framework, enabling programmers to easily implement 3D editors. As an Eclipse plugin GEF3D is seamlessly integrated into the Eclipse integrated development environment, allowing developers to work with one tool for developing and visualizing their software in 3D. The third dimension enables the visualization of more complex relationships than provided by existing two-dimensional representations. In this paper we explain the architecture and certain design patterns of GEF3D in order to give researchers and developers interested in 3D software visualization an overview of how to use GEF3D and the features provided by the framework. We present the results of a usability evaluation, show how GEF3D is applied to embed an existing 2D editor into a 3D editor, and discuss performance issues.

“…Combining multiple 2D diagrams on planes in 3D space is a common visualization technique for representing interrelationships between diagrams. For example Contract boxes introduced in [Gil and Kent 1998] consist of two two-dimensional diagrams projected on the top and bottom plane of a box, and in [Huotari 2004] a framework called ISVIS is presented which also can project UML diagrams on planes and draw relationships between the different diagrams. More often this technique is used in manual drawing for explaining relationships between models, and it is interesting that in [Koike 1993] it is used for explaining the concepts of 3D diagrams created by a tool.…”

“…In [Huotari 2004], three "granularity levels or perspectives for visualizing diagrams" are distinguished: "intra-diagram, inter-diagram (=intra-model), and inter-model." Intra-diagrams are single diagrams representing a single model -for example a single 2D diagram on a plane.…”

Three-dimensional software visualization is a commonly used and very helpful approach when two-dimensional representations of complex systems become too cluttered. But 3D visualizers usually are developed separately from existing development tools. Often they do not allow editing of the displayed models which may be desirable in many cases, as for example in model driven development (MDD), in which models are first class artifacts.With GEF3D we present a 3D framework which is based on the widely used two-dimensional graphical editing framework Eclipse GEF. It enhances this framework, enabling programmers to easily implement 3D editors. Furthermore existing 2D editors can be adapted to be used in 3D multi editors by projecting the 2D content on planes. In this article we explain the architecture and certain design patterns of GEF3D in order to give researchers and developers interested in 3D software visualization an overview of how to use GEF3D and of the features provided by the framework. We show how GEF3D is applied to embed an existing UML class editor into a 3D editor, and present a special use case: the visualization of traces in the area of MDD.
